Introduction
Why a newsletter ?
Epegon, the Foundation for People Governance, established in October 2007, is now rapidly gaining momentum: with new activities being initiated and opinions being openly expressed, Epegon wishes to demonstrate its eagerness to contribute to the global thinking process about governance with a specific focus on the human dimension.
Epegon believes it will be useful to YOU as members, partners and friends, to be kept abreast of its activities, positions, classes and publications.
This is why Epegon will publish this newsletter on a regular basis.
The newsletter will be structured around five categories:
1. Upcoming activities
2. Recent activities
3. Partners
4. Epegon’s opinions
5. Publications
It will consist in a very short comment for each topic and a e-link for more info on the subject if needed. We hope you will enjoy reading it.
